Coach tours to Visit 4 Gardens and a Nursery all of which grow a variety of Grevillea as well as other native plants.
Buses will travel three routes ; 2 buses each route.
Plant sales are arranged so that the first garden on each bus route will have plants for sale.
All buses will leave Nagle College car park at 8am.
- The Donnan Garden at Eagle Point is a large, beautifully designed garden spread over 2 acres with water features and dry creek beds There are over 2000 named plants and in excess of 100 Grevillea.
- The Hope Garden at Metung is a one acre, fully mulched. Rambling native garden with winding paths and some unusual plants including 150 Grevillea species.
- The Barr’s Garden at Swan Reach is set on half an acre and uses every inch of space to create a native cottage garden effect. There are 96 different Grevillea in this garden including numerous grafted Grevillea, some in large pots.
- The Baker’s Garden at Lakes Entrance lies between the town and the forest. This is a fairly new garden and Ian has a passion for Grevillea so you will see how he has established a lovely garden from scratch during a period of drought.
- Tambo Vale Nursery and Gardens P/L is set around native landscaped gardens at Nicholson on the Princes Highway just 10km east of Bairnsdale. Bob and Sandra Farlow are inaugural members of APS Bairnsdale and will have many interesting Grevillea for sale to seminar visitors.
Morning and afternoon teas will be available at various gardens and participants will receive a boxed lunch at one of the garden stops.
